I gather my colleague from the NDP will be moving an amendment to ask that this be after the report on priorities and planning for the department is tabled. If that is the case, it strikes me that what we ought to be doing is asking for the minister to come with his officials, for him to stay for an hour, and the officials perhaps to stay for the second hour.
My motion doesn't provide for that but I think that's probably what we ought to try to do.
